Sad update: No Cockring Club

djrw — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:26:18 +0000

After almost 4 years of residency at the the > 25 year existing Cockring Club, Amsterdam, there is a (temporarily) end to it.
The club has been closed by order of the mayor and local administration. Illegal substances were found, but only in small amount.
The management of the club is exploring all legal means to fight the sanction and to be granted to re-open.
In the mean time, we’ll miss my weekly sets. Pity, because I loved to check the latest tracks and try my mixes with my loyal audience.

There are still the other gigs, as mentioned in the “Upcoming list”, and they’re not least, such as RAPIDO.

I’ll keep you posted. Check also my DJRW page on Facebook for updates !

Summer feelings

djrw — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 20:35:44 +0000

Netherland is decorated in orange. People, buildings, vehicles, clothes, you name it.
The Worldchampionship soccer in South Africa is on and the Dutchies are (still) in the game..
My connection ? Haha, not really the sports as I never liked those kind of ballgames ;) .
At Club Church Amsterdam, I will spin june 26th and august 28th at LADZ. THE dance/gathering event for sportsGEAR minded guys.
Make sure there will be a lot of cute oranges crowding the dancefloor :) .
July 17th, I have the honour to play a set at “Tanz Dich Jung” at :About Blank, Berlin. Some friends celebrate their mutual birthdays and decided to choose this underground venue for it. Techno will fill the air ! And friendship of course..
August 8th it will be time again for an – already long – sold out RAPIDO at Paradiso, Amsterdam. Very proud to be resident for this no.1 gay dance event.
Keep checking the music page on this site, as I will post frequently mixes and set recordings.
Have a very pleasant and devoted summer !

In the mix

djrw — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:09:28 +0000

Many mixes…
The recording of my set at LADZ 2 year anniversary (24 apr), RAPIDO (02may), and a new edition in the ‘Fun Fair’ series : “Haunted Mansion”. All available from end april – early may 2010. And for free of course !
I call them ‘online souvenirs’. If you join me at the gigs that I do, you’ll have the full dimension of course, but if you can’t make it, you can still enjoy.
For most fans who (frequently) visit Rapido, Ladz and Cockring, these mixes are real souvenirs of great parties.
Have a great Queensday (in Netherland apr 30th) and a warm and beautiful may month !

Samurai & Bumper Cars

djrw — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 22:41:37 +0000

Two mixes released this month !
One for the deep, underground (after)party mood: the Samurai. Psy-trance & techno are the main ingredients.
The latest one is an old fashioned (circuit) party mix: the Bumper Cars. A bit of Mainstram, but anyway progressive, tribal and full of energy.
Enjoy these 2 mixes, by streaming them or downloading them for another moment.
Looking forward to my sets at LADZ, feb 27th and RAPIDO, and more is to come.
See you out there !

Welcome to 2010

djrw — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:10:50 +0000

A very happy, healthy, and wonderful 2010 for you all !

Recovered of all the parties ? Probably not, because they still go on, as I write this.
Well, traditionally the first months of the year are kind of quiet in the party season, so you got plenty of time..
Rapido, dec 31st was a nice one. Full house and a good atmosphere.
Looking forward to the next one where I will play: may 2nd.
Before that, you can of course hear me weekly at Cockring, my residency, and at LADZ (feb 27th is the next) and at some other gigs.

Do check the MUSIC page on this site to stay tuned with my latest mixes.
I also recommend to visit my DJRW Facebook page.
All to be found/clicked on the tabs in the upper right corner.

See you, hear me !

December !

djrw — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:38:03 +0000

Traditionally a month of joy and parties. Let me already wish everyone splendid holidays and a healthy and happy 2010 !

As a contribution, you will find a new (long) mix on the music page: “Cockring december 2009”. More than 3 hours of powerfull dark beats with a touch of trance and a few vocals.
At the end of this month, after LADZ (dec 26th), I’ll put my dj set of that succesfull party online. The boys of Church & LADZ already want to have their party mix for a while. Cumming up :p !

I’m happy to work with Jack Chang again at RAPIDO, dec 31st. On this special night we make sure the progressive music will be like firework ! Come and visit us at Marcanti, Amsterdam from 20h-05h.
See you … hear me !

Parties & mixes

Busy busy.. I love it.
At the start of a weekend with 2 nights at my resident venue Cockring Club, followed by RAPIDO on sunday.
Next week saturday (oct31st) I’ll do the opening (22-01h) on the mainstage of GET RUFF, formerly known as Playground. It’s the mainparty of the Amsterdam Leatherpride weekend and it’s going to be busy !

Of course you check frequently the music page on my site for new DJ mixes.
Stay tuned cause there is a new one now, called “Happy Spider”. An uplifting electro/trancy sound with quite some vocals (yeah odd for my style, not ?). Check it out, I made it especially for the the after parties at Cockring – upstairs, but I trust you’ll like at home too.
Somewhere next week(end), I’ll release the full set mix of Rapido as well. A lot to listen to.. enjoy !

Tracks recommended !

djrw — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:05:01 +0000

Like last month, I would like to share some music tracksamples with you.
MP3’s that got my attention. Tracks that I like to use in my DJ sets or in a mix for you.

Every week, I listen to the new releases in the genres that match my signature:
progressive (including tribal), techno, tech-house, and house.
There are so many new releases every week. Can’t check them all, and most will not fit in my set, as there are so many (sub)styles, but hey, that makes every DJ unique :-).

Artists deserve their payments, so I will not simply provide full free tracks.
Instead, I’ll give a link to Beatport, one of the biggest downloadsites with a huge variety of styles.

You’ll find 5 tracks, not in any favorite order. I like them all.
Enjoy and .. feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Nick Tcherniak & Steve Thomas – Ven Conmigo

DJ Chus – That Feeling 2010 rmxs

Jean Philips & Steven Redant – Discotheque

Sebastian Krieg & Jerome Isma-Ae

Dankann – Helia

New full set mix available !

DJRW’s Full set @ FRESH Afterparty [sep 2009]
The aftermath for partytigers of Rapido’s FRESH.
A five hour set above the swimmingpool of sauna Thermos, Amsterdam.
Sexy beats that made them (you) sweat, steam, and flush till 10am.
Enjoy !
